52-year-old Kang Niu, inserted a 13-centimetre long steel rod into his privates after he began having problems with impotence?
In order to solve his problems of not getting girlfriends he inserted the metal rod with a narrow tube down the middle.
Doctors at the Second Hospital in the Chinese city of Hengyang managed to remove the equipment after it had shot into the man's bladder when he was sleeping with a woman.
Despite being in agony, the man reportedly said nothing for months, hoping that he would eventually be able to pass the rod back out again.
Eventually as the pain increased he turned up at the hospital where doctors carried out an x-ray and discovered the cause of the pain.
They said it was a relatively simple operation to remove the steel rod from inside the man, but they did not say whether it had caused any long-term damage to his internal organs.
